I have a cousin who's never cleaned his Xbox 360 and it still works fine.. I do think dust can cause problems with the disc drive if the laser somehow gets a lot of dust on it, though.

Hire a maid and get them to dust it with a micro-fibre cloth every hour.

I've had my Xbox 360 slim 250gb console since late 2010 and it's still going well but if I examine through the vent holes, I can see some dust inside the hardware. But there isn't much you can do about it, unless you want to open up... the console. Some say try a vacuum but you run the risk of your vacuum having too much suction power that it may damage the internal circuitry. You can't avoid dust, it's part of life.

xbox 360 = ^u^

I've been gaming since the NES and have never even thought about cleaning dust out of a console. I've never had any problems with them either (besides RROD on 360.) Some people worry about stuff too much.

I had my slim since it came out and one day recently I had my friend open it up for me and surprisingly there was hardly any dust in it. I wouldn't worry about it.

Canned air works great. And dust is every piece of electronics worst enemy. Dust insulates like a winter coat which builds up heat and melts things. Dust=bad!!

To those who took my question seriously, many thanks. To those who believed my concerns are just crazy, allow me to explain further.

For whatever reason, the area in which I live had crazy amounts of dust. So much so that, if you completely wiped down the table top that morning, by the end of the day it had a considerably thick coat of dust on it. The buildup of these exorbitant amounts of dust over several months' time is what has me concerned.

At this point I'm still heavily considering the vacuum, despite the risks, but Camhawk mentioned compressed air. I've thought about that, but at the same time I've heard that just stirs up the dust that's already in there and can cause even more problems. You say you've tried this on an Xbox one and it worked well?

@Hayes Cooper19. Compressed air should work just fine. I live on a dirt road and in the summer things can get dusty. I've always used a can of compressed air and a small vacuum to catch the dust as it flows out. Blew out the power brick on my 360 (First time ever in years.) and was surprised at how much dust came out. Never new the 360 power brick had a fan in it.

Peace, J.R.

Ah the combination of compressed air and a vacuum. Now there's an idea, thanks!

And Vampirella, I think we all know why that cracks you up. We're just too gentlemanly to admit it. ;) haha
